Yogi Bhajan emphasized that for those souls who have been guided here, it is our duty and honor to serve. There were times when Yogi Bhajan was asked if we could reduce the amount, “The prosperity of self, and the future of the Dharma – tied in with the entire humanity – looks to you as the Mother Center.
–Yogi Bhajanand each time we were given the answer, “One hundred dollars is the minimum standard for each adult.” Understanding that this is a goal for some, we ask that everyone in the community make a commitment to contribute regularly so that as individuals and as a community we will continue to grow our prosperity and share our wealth with the world.
